Greece is reinforcing security measures in the Evros region on its northeast borders in order to repel a new wave of illegal immigrants trying to cross into the country, as Ankara continues to escalate its instrumentalisation of immigration, which the Greek side has repeatedly denounced.
In the next few days, Greek authorities are expected to start an effort for the electronic fortification of the Evros fence, while given that winter is approaching and the waters in the river are expected to rise considerably, one of the key deterrent measures will be boat patrols in the river Evros.

To this end, the automated surveillance system that will be present on the fence will also be installed on the patrol boats. The patrolling boats will have cameras day and night, special radars that will detect the movement, and will be able to record exactly what is happening on the territory of Turkey at any time.
This system is so advanced, that officers staffing the Evros security facilities are seeking to acquire unmanned boats, which will be able to patrol the river normally regardless of weather conditions.
